Now, World of Warcraft fans finally know the official date for when they can experience this epic showdown again in Cataclysm Classic. February 18 marks the day when the Hour of Twilight patch arrives on the Classic progression servers, bringing with it the three iconic World of Warcraft Cataclysm dungeons that lead up to the final battle with Deathwing: End Time, Well of Eternity, and Hour of Twilight. Characters must have an item level of at least 365 to queue for these dungeons, wherein they must defeat Murozond, leader of the Infinite Dragonflight, so they can retrieve the Dragon Soul from the War of the Ancients, and finally bring it back to the present to use against Deathwing.

Then, on February 20 at 3 PM PST globally, the Dragon Soul raid itself will open. Groups of 10 and 25 players will repel servants of the Old Gods, Elementals, and Twilight Hammer as they defend Wyrmrest Temple and finally take down Deathwing. Lastly, on February 25, Alizabal – a fierce Shivarra trapped within Baradin Hold – will be made available for 10 and 25-person raid groups to face, so long as Tol Barad is under their faction’s control.
Fans of the Rogue class have even more reason to be excited about this update. The Fangs of the Father are a set of Legendary daggers obtained via a special questline that introduces Wrathion, the renegade black dragon who plays a major role in future World of Warcraft expansions. Rogues can start this quest from Lord Devrestrasz within the Dragon Soul raid once it opens.
Hour of Twilight is the last major patch of Cataclysm, meaning World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic is right around the corner. Though the expansion does not have an official release date yet, the roadmap for 2025 puts it no later than early autumn, with the Pre-Patch arriving during the summer.
